Turn Exp off no pvp

Ok so just got a dk to level 70 have almost full brutal gear but am getting rdy to level to 71 if I do another bg.. So i turn my exp off and now have to wait 45min for a bg wtf is up with that!? Is this working as intended or did blizzard mess something up.

It's working fine, it's there to stop people, like yourself, getting full gear at a certain level then playing against those who you clearly outgear and are just doing the battlegrounds as a form to level, just get to 90 then you can get all the battlegrounds you wish, against players who can actually hurt you

I personally locked my pally at 80 for Herald. Still farming gear and I might as well pvp a little at my level. I don't agree with the being grouped with xp off toons, I see people in cata leveling greens ranging from 80-84. You can see the locked 84's, they are easy to spot, 200k hp dk's and such
